Should be installing my cat back exhaust today. Waiting on Fedex to deliver it. Will also be installing a Cat back on mgrey_0127 GE today as well. Hopefully the Corona does not get the best of us before getting them on.

While I was at ricerboys (pepboys) I noticed they had mobil 1 5w20 on sale.. was like 24 dollars for 5 quarts. walmart has it for 25 all day long but I do get a military discount of 10% off so this would be a great excuse for you to come ^_^ and you could meet my gf and see the new casa might feed you too. haha
I need to go to Sam's Club and stock up on coffee, fruit juice and other crap I get there... I don't know if I should let you drive my car, you may change your mind about the K motor swap... I know I will feel like my car is made of rubber bands and coat hangers to you and myself as well if I drive your car... If you and your little girlfriend won't help me get out of the seat and over the roll bar I'd really like to drive it again..... As a military retiree, can I get the military discount... I get 10% off at Wally World for life since my wife has been working for them 17 years... She has all kinds of benefits with them that are unheard of nowadays..... You are on the lake now aren't you? I'll holler when it it's possible for me to get over your way.... Well it's back to the Maker's Mark and gathering up all of the stuff I couldn't live without but haven't been used in years... Goodwill's going to receive quite a load of stuff...

haha yeah i gotta go to sams also. I usually buy razor blades in bulk there because at walmart 4 for 14.00 is retarded.

about the military discount, im actually honorably discharged. I got out in october. 6 years served. didnt want any more. however, my ID still works haha.

Its really not that bad getting in and out of teh fit. but we will help!

no, I still live at the resort in tyler. just closer to the water and a MUCH larger house. 2500 Square feet, 2 car garage. Its hard for me to want to leave this place. its almost like it doesnt belong in tyler but like florida or something.

Installed my Tsudo Cat Back exhaust yesterday. I love it. Looks very nice on car, and has a gorgeous sound. However this thing is LOUD.. no doubt about that. Im going to remove my test pipe and reinstall factory cat to see what that sounds like next.

Heres the Video.....

Oh I really like that - I think I remember those guys saying they were taking off.

Here's to livin the dream - we should never be too busy, but sometimes we do get distracted.

Ok took test pipe off and replaced stock cat. Exhaust is much better now. Drivable without setting off too many car alarms and cops..

With Stock Cat:

Kinda hard to tell difference in videos, but trust me with test pipe was ALOT louder. To the point my daughter said it hurt her ears. Now it has a great deep sound that is not TOO loud.

Butt Dyno register good gains in all ranges, however with test pipe was only in the high rpm range where gain was noticed.

For the track-test pipe and cat back would be great. For the street- not so much. Unless that is you want everyone to look. Kinda dumb for that much noise in a FIT?

B, both sounded real nice, mean and solid, not "ricey" like others I've heard. Yup, a bit on the loud side. But yeah could be annoying specially if I was your neighbor . If you keep it on, you might need a louder stereo to go with it.

My Fit's all stock. My Rex has a 4" Prodrive catback, with a nice low note growl.

Thanks for the post.

There is something about the color of that stuff that makes me want to drink it... It really doesn't taste anything like Mobile 1 and has a far more pleasant bouquet than any conventional oil.

lol

So today I took off my Mugen style window visors and replaced them with genuine ones and the fitment is a lot better. I am not saying the Mugen style ones were bad. They are actually quite nice being darker tinted but in the fitment department the real deal gets my vote.
